AI-Fun & ELLIS Invited Speaker Series | Pablo Moreno Muñoz
This month’s AI-Fun and ELLIS Invited Speaker lecture will take place in Engineering Building B, room 2B.003. It’s easy to find: from the second floor (where Eng B and Nancy Rothwell Building join), follow the signs (take a left turn and then a right turn and the room is on the left); OR from the ground floor, take the stairs to the second...
Manchester Logic Seminar - Mathieu Anel - cancelled
Cancelled!
Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Peej Ingarfield
Speaker: Peej Ingarfield (University of Manchester) Title: Dimension drop and estimating the gap Abstract: Iterated function systems (IFS) have played a key role in the study of fractals. When considering an IFS, studying what separation properties it has gives a great amount of information about the fractal associated to the IFS. In the case...
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Alexei Bolsinov
Speaker: Alexei Bolsinov (Loughborough) Title: Nijenhuis Geometry Abstract: A Nijenhuis structure on a smooth manifold is given by a field $L$ of endomorphisms with zero Nijenhuis torsion: $$ L^2[u,v] - L[Lu,v] - L[u,Lv] + [Lu, lv]=0. $$ The classical Haantjes theorem states that locally every Nijenhuis endomorphism with a simple real spectrum...
Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Jialin Wang
Let G be a finite group and F a field of characteristic p > 0. An FG-module M is endotrivial if HomF(M, M) \cong F \oplus P, for some projective kG-module P. One main class of indecomposable endotrivial modules is given by \Sigma_G := {\Sigma^n(F), n \in Z}, where \Sigma denotes the Heller translate. In some cases, this is the only class of indecomposable...
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Kenji Terao
Speaker: Kenji Terao (Warwick) Title: An introduction to modular curves Abstract: Modular curves are objects of central importance in arithmetic geometry, parametrizing elliptic curves with particular Galois representations. They form a key part of the proof of results such as Fermat's Last Theorem and Mazur's torsion theorem. In this talk, I...

Speaker: Mathieu Anel (Carnegie Mellon University) Title TBA Abstract TBA
Training course on in situ experiments and digital volume correlation
Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a powerful experimental technique that computes 3D full-field displacement and strain maps from volumes images acquired during a deformation process of a material. DVC is the 3D extension of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) which was first described four decades ago. The emergence of DVC started early 2000s with...
Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Paul Glendinning
Speaker: Paul Glendinning (University of Manchester) Title: The boundary of chaos and the boundary of positive Hausdorff dimension of survivor sets for two-branch maps of the interval Abstract: Two classical problems in bifurcation theory are the characterisation of the boundary of chaos (in the sense of positive topological entropy) of families...
Mark Fricker -- Adaptive Biological Networks: from slime to society [IN PERSON]
Join us for this seminar by Mark Fricker (Oxford) as part of the Maths in the Life Sciences seminar series (and the online North West Seminar Series in Mathematical Biology and Data Sciences in collaboration with Liverpool Universities). Title: Adaptive Biological Networks: from slime to society Abstract: Many different biological systems form...
